Earning as a pilot

Question

Salam alaikum

I am looking to pursue aviation and work as a pilot.

However almost all airlines serve alcohol to passengers. Would this make my income as a Pilot haram?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The income will be Halal. Having said that, life as a pilot does not appear to be very conducive to the lifestyle of a practicing Muslim.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
